Thanks for the tutorial. If you don’t zoom into where the magic happens, users don’t have context and don’t understand. Also didn’t like the hard cuts. Camtasia is a tool with fantastic zoom and transition effects. Not free but well worth it.

+1. Camtasia Studio has been some of my best dollars spent. Also it's noise removal and volume adjustment features are INCREDIBLE. I mean, just push a button, done, and it's, WOW.

I also bought a great mic (AT2020USB+) so that viewers were actually able to hear what I say. I went as far as recording the audio separately to avoid my notebook fan noise, keyboard clicks, etc. But I later figured that the high quality mic + Camtasia's noise removal are so great that I can save the (huge amount of) time and use the audio that I record on the go. (I was mainly recording 1-2 minute how-to videos.) Now recording a 1 minute video takes me ~an hour instead of a day that it took at the start.
